Lanzi V

Now that Roberto Lanzi's family has finally reunited in Winnipeg, his ambition to succeed makes him long for a business of his own. With his wife Silvia's support, Roberto borrows money to build a large complex near the city center. He hurls himself into the project, working day and night to oversee the design and fill their new shop handcrafted items, luxury goods, and his own sculptures. Other galleries and shops quickly snap up space in the new complex, and Roberto's rapidly profile in the community earns respect as well as jealousy. The birth of a daughter propels Roberto take on more debt, and by 1969, Roberto has become a well-known figure in the community. But change is on the horizon. When interest rates increase exponentially, the nervous local banks in Winnipeg demand their money back. Betrayals force Roberto into a corner, and he realizes he must sacrifice his dreams, repay his loans and go into exile once more.
